Following on from this post…
Greetings, I’m a TL4 on a forum with twelve million plus users, and the Watched Words feature is leveraged heavily to prevent nefarious posts. However, as mentioned in the prior post I linked, there are times when these words need to be used in the proper contexts.
For example, as a TL4 I will often use Canned Templates to inform users of common issues with their posts; some of these pre-approved (in the Moderation sense) messages contain Watched Words, which means instead of me as a TL4 being able to “handle” a small Moderation issue without distracting a Moderator away from other matters, my post ends up needing approval by a Moderator anyway, defeating the purpose.
I can list several more use cases if required, but the long and short of it is that it would be handy if there was an option that allowed specific trust levels to be exempt from the Watched Words list.
Thanks,
Chris
